This was short and effective. She packs very successful world building of this little planet into a very tiny book. A decent conversation about the damage we do to earth in tandem to the way we “deify” it is present and maybe good enough but does fall a little flat. The romance is fine. I think the investigation is actually pretty good, but doesn’t come near a murder mystery. This was all good and did the thing but I was maybe unsatisfied?
